Tired of your computer taking forever to start? Think some installed software is to blame? It's time to settle that doubt with BootRacer, a tool designed to detect the programs that slow down your PC's startup.
Some computers start in seconds, while others take several minutes. The slowness of the latter can be mainly due to the programs you have installed that start with the system. And since you are not a psychic to know the main culprits, you have tools like BootRacer, which are used to detect the programs that make your PC startup slow.
What Programs Slow Down Your PC Startup
Once you download and install the program, the BootRacer window opens with a simple interface. To find out your startup time, simply click the Full Boot Test button to move to the next window where you can choose the type of restart you want.
The program will start the process of monitoring the PC's startup time and will automatically reboot. BootRacer will exclude the wait time for entering the user password, so don't worry about that. Once Windows starts, you'll see a BootRacer box with a summary of the startup time. If you want more details about the process, just click the Know more? button.
Now, how to detect the programs that make your PC startup slow? Simple: return to the main menu of BootRacer and choose the second option, Perform a clean boot test. Again, the monitoring process will start and the last remaining option, Startup programs time, will be enabled; click it to see which programs slow down the PC startup with the calculated time. Now you just have to disable those unnecessary applications via the Control Startup Programs button so they don't interfere during startup.
Developed by Greatis Software, BootRacer is a free software available for download on Windows.
